How to get there
Alpen Adria Längsee
Where to stay
The area around the lake offers a mix of traditional guesthouses and converted historical properties. You will find family-run 'Gasthöfe' near the water, boutique stays within the repurposed Abbey grounds, and several well-maintained camping sites situated directly on the grassy banks. Expect to pay between €80 and €160 per night for a double room, with prices peaking during the August race weekend due to high seasonal demand.
Things to do nearby
The region is defined by its cultural and outdoor accessibility. Beyond the lake, visitors engage in guided tours of the 14 gates at Hochosterwitz, local wine tastings featuring Carinthian specialties, and extensive hiking trails that connect the surrounding dolomite cliffs. For those seeking active recovery, the lake remains a hub for SUP and kayak excursions, providing a different perspective of the surrounding forests and the historic abbey architecture.
